Shout About Mobiles

I know its a laptop, but it does come with a built in modem, so technically it has phone-like parts. So I’m going to blog about it! )

So, you may have heard the hype going round about Dell’s new Adamo range of laptops. These laptops are meant to be the up most example of style and good looks – that explains the price as the specs sure don’t add up!

The Dell Adamo, billed as the ‘world’s thinest laptop’, comes in with a 1.2ghz core 2 duo processor, 2GB
RAM running Windows Vista.

Erm…. so what power does it have left to do anything?

Yes it could be great for the Windows users out there to have a thin laptop, but at what cost? It will barely be able to do anything! All this laptop has going for it is the battery life (which isn’t even that great compared to the Mac alternative).

(I’m sorry about that random rant, I’ll now talk about its mobile phone qualitites)

Now that UK networks are making data cheaper and cheaper (even PAYT have offers now – 1GB usage for £15), laptop makers has started to capitasle on it and shoved inbuilt modems and SIM slots in to most new laptops. And of course the recent out breaks of netbooks (little baby laptops) show how popular ‘data on the move’ is beoming.

I still remember the initial days of mobile internet. When it first came out, phone users were using the good old PMCAII data cards plugged in to their machines. I enjoyed the mobility of it, but the style left little to be desired.  Now we have the sleek dongles that give 3G speeds (in certain areas), and the especially sleek in-built modems. Looking good people!
With the rumours that Japan are testing 4G technology (which will give us 100mb/s downloads whilst on the move and up to 1gb/s whilst stationary), the future of mobile broadband is looking pretty successful.
